Personality and Abilities
Paragraph I: How she is perceived
➸ Vivienne has always been a [sociable] girl, though sometimes her [dry humor] and [sarcastic wit] can be taken as offensive or brash. She'd usually feel remorseful that she'd caused a misunderstanding such as that, but due to recent events, she's become [impatient] with the whiny behavior. She feels that if you don't like something, you shouldn't deal with it. And she certainly doesn't like people whining and complaining about her humor. Though, when first acquainting themselves with Vivienne they'd certainly pick up on her [vast intellect.] The girl may be young, but she is no fool. She likes to wave the subjects she studied over people's heads, almost as if saying 'I'm better than you.' Though that certainly doesn't make her a genius, she has weak points in a handful of subjects. For an example, alchemy and horticulture, science and the like. She mainly studied and read textbooks concerning history and subjects similar to it. Coming back to an earlier point made, due to her impatient nature she can soon become fairly [irritable]. It's noted to be quite hard to hold a conversation with her whilst she's in one of her moods. The first thing someone would hear about Vivienne would have to be how easily she can fly into a fit, once started she finds it hard to calm down - which some would describe as an [anger problem.] Though she only tends to fly into such a rage when being provoked and insulted over and over again, she's a very [prideful] woman.
Paragraph II: How she feels
➸ Vivienne is actually quite an [insecure] woman. She constantly feels as if she is underestimated and belittled. Firstly due to her being a woman, and secondly due to how she's quite young and naive in the political scene. She feels as if she has to prove herself to family and her peerage. Though while she's insecure about herself socially, the girl is no stranger to [vanity.] She could sit for days and gaze at herself in a mirror, picking and preening over her hair and complexion. Usually, Vivienne is almost afraid to throw herself into a political gathering. She's not afraid of the people, more so [afraid of failure.] She has many wild ambitions, but that fear will usually hold her back. Vivienne is most confident when she [feels in control], so for example when she's hosting an event and entertaining a large sum of people. Her desire for control stemmed from when she was a child, used to being pushed to the side and under-minded. She never got what she wanted, being pushed to the side in favor of her sisters or brothers. She was the black sheep of the family, so to speak. Her sisters excelled in science, healing, and alchemy while that was Vivienne's weakest point. Her brothers were both fighters, while the idea of combat didn't sit well with Vivienne.Paragraph I: How she is perceived

Paragraph II: How she feels
Paragraph II: Her relationship with friends and family
➸ Vivienne doesn't really have friends. She tends to hold people at an arm's length. This could mostly be pegged down to the fact that she never had a good relationship with her father or mother as a child. Her father never accepted the girl's desires and goals in life and she ultimately felt rejected. It's a fear she's still struggling to live with, the [fear of rejection.] When around her sisters or brothers, Vivienne has a rather [arrogant] and [cocky attitude]. Having grown up around them, she was never the favorite. She had to kick and scream to get her mother or father's attention. But now that she is the matriarch and title holder, she has the feeling of [importance] and [relevance], though recently she's come under fire from her two older sisters, the two of them calling her [immature] and [disrespectful.] Though what differs her relationship with family over that with strangers and friends, is that Vivienne actually has a lot and care for her siblings - though she may not show it often.
Paragraph III: Her morality
➸ Vivienne's morality is one that involves herself first, and others second. While she is [not able to be truly described as evil], she is no saint. The Harhold enjoys to see the downfall of others - it makes her feel higher. Simply put, Vivienne is [self-centered.] When it comes to others corruption, she honestly couldn't care less. If it affects someone she has it out for in some way she welcomes it. She likes to have others do her work for her without even realizing it. When it comes to a moral code, Vivienne likes to conduct herself with grace, etiquette, and stature. Though most of the time these rules she desperately attempts to uphold is broken due to her easily angered personality. She can be considered quite manipulative, she tends to twist words and scenarios in her favor - gaining control of those involved and their perceptions.
Birth - Childhood
➸ The young d'Eluise was a fairly easy child, sleeping silently throughout the night, the complete contrast to her two brothers.
Child - Late Adolescent
➸ With her dramatic attitude, many quickly grew tired around her. Her eldest brother was one who did not, and Vivienne grew deeply attached to him; almost to an obsessive stage.
➸ Her feelings toward others were intense, be it one of hatred or friendship. Surprisingly, most of her curious romantic feelings were directed toward girls around her own age.
➸ With her melodramatic and bratty attitude, it was only natural for her relationship with her sisters to dwindle. The older duo was more than fed up with Vivienne, denying her the affection the girl craved.
➸ Vivienne was soon shipped off to the academy for aristocratic learning in Regalia, aka the School of Statesman.
Young Adolescent - Late Adolescent
➸ Vivienne soon graduated from the academy with a new attitude about her, determined to take the city by storm. She was a young woman now, and more than ready for what the world had to offer.
➸ Her father was quick to notice such, forbidding the two from interacting. He grew stern with his only daughter, locking her in her chambers for days at a time until she was tired of begging for release.
➸ As her young adult life progressed, her parent's marriage had turned sour. They would argue all hours of the day, and when it came to light Daniel had been unfaithful all hell broke loose.
Late Adolescent - Present Day
➸ Daniel soon passed away, having been murdered by an unknown assailant.
➸ Madeleine sent Vivienne back to Ithania to mourn with the family, which she did with no objection. Her father had not been a perfect man, but in her heart of hearts, Vivienne still holds him close to her.➸ Daniel soon passed away, having been murdered by an unknown assailant.
➸ As soon as her father passed, her crumbling relationship with her elder sisters self-combusted, leaving the family in tatters. They labeled her as immature and inhumane, which left Vivienne bruised internally.
➸ She wed soon enough, to a man of low standing yet who was on the rise. Her husband, Hengest Harhold, showered her with prizes and affection. The man would bend over backward for his darling wife, his high titles merely a bonus.
➸ She went on to have a child with Hengest, a daughter named Cwynthryth.
